White Hake • Base • Similar to 2002 VPA results • FractionSamples • Introduces uncertainty in age-length key • AgeError • Ageing imprecise • FractionandAgeError • Purpose: test models under high ageing uncertainty and bias
White hake basic setup • Years 1989-2001 (12 years) • Ages 1-30, 9+ • Lengths 1-200 cm • 2 market categories • 3 surveys • (CVs vary by age, 20%-50%) • CV on landings 5% • Growth stdevs 5.0 initial, 1.0 projection • Von B params 189, 0.081, 0.062 • 50% Mature ~35 cm • Selectivity flat-topped, 50% selected 39 cm • M = 0.2 • F high all years (0.5-2.1)
White hake test cases • Fractionsamples • 40% of lengths used to create ALK • AgeError • Adds uncertainty but not much bias
Precision (SSB and F) • AIM: ~ 0.1-0.2, did not vary by case • SCALE: ~0.1, did not vary by case • VPA*: <0.2 (poor ages>7) • ASAP: ~0.05, did not vary *VPA CVs are for age-specific SSB, F
White Hake Conclusions • Models that do not fit age data (AIM, SCALE) were robust to aging errors (assuming correct von B for SCALE) • Bias pattern similar for VPA and ASAP, but magnitude was far less for ASAP
